Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin was asked by reporters what would’ve happened if he hadn’t been wearing a visor Monday night in San Jose.

“Oh, my God, I could have lost my eye,” he said. “I could have broken the bone. A lot of things could have happened without it.”

Beauchemin took a Dan Boyle slapper right in the visor against the Sharks. It looked pretty bad at the time, but after getting a few stitches, he was able to return to the game.

In conclusion, hockey players should wear visors.
